Araia for paediatricians

Why paediatricians join Araia

Most of a well-baby or sick visit is spent rebuilding a history from memory. "How many wet nappies yesterday?" "When did the fever start?" "Did he actually finish the antibiotic?" A tired parent answers as best they can, and you make decisions on a rough estimate.

Araia replaces the estimate with a log. Parents record events in one or two taps, often hands-free, so the record is made at the time rather than reconstructed in the waiting room. When they share it with you, you get:

• A history that was written down when it happened — feeds, output, sleep, temperatures and symptoms with timestamps, not recollections.
• The important things surfaced first — out-of-range readings, overdue vaccine doses and food reactions are flagged at the top of each patient, so you don't have to scroll to find them.
• The parent's questions before they walk in — Araia keeps a running list of questions for the next appointment, many added automatically from symptoms and readings they logged. You see the list and can plan the consultation around it.
• Reports in one place — lab results, scans and discharge summaries the family has uploaded, instead of a phone gallery scrolled through during the visit.
• Nothing to install or learn — the portal runs in any browser, on the clinic desktop or your phone. You sign in with your email and a one-time code; there is no password to manage.

What you see for each patient

Every patient opens on a single summary page designed to be read in under a minute:

From the summary you can go deeper into the full calendar of logs, analytics, health readings, vaccination record, journal, reports and appointments — the same views the family uses, shown read-only.

How it works

1. Sign in. Go to app.araia.me/doctor/login and enter your email. We send you a code; that's the whole sign-up.
2. Set up your practice profile. Add your qualifications, medical registration number, clinic (you can find it on Google Maps), phone, email and opening hours. Families see this profile, so they know exactly who they have shared their baby's record with.
3. Ask the family for a code. In the Araia app the parent opens Doctors → Share with a pediatrician and reads you a six-digit code. It is valid for 30 minutes and works once.
4. Add the patient. Enter the code under Add a patient. The baby appears on your list, and you appear on the family's doctors list with a "Connected" badge.

That's a one-off step per patient. After that, the record is there whenever you open it — including the logs added since the last visit.

Managing your patients

• One list for your whole practice. Sort by recently opened, by who needs attention, or youngest first — useful for knowing which newborns to keep a closer eye on.
• Prepare before the consultation. Open the summary a few minutes before the family comes in and you already know the questions, the flags and the week's pattern.
• Write consultation notes. Notes you write are added to the family's record, so the advice you gave is there for them at 2 a.m. when they can't remember whether you said two days or three. Only you can edit notes you wrote.
• Follow up between visits. When a family calls about a fever or a feeding worry, the readings and logs are already on your screen.

Consent and privacy

Families own their baby's record, and the design follows from that:

• Access starts with the parent. You only ever see a baby whose parent gave you a code. There is no search, no directory of patients, and no way to request access.
• It's read-only. You can view everything the family shares, but you cannot change their logs, readings or records. The only thing you add is your own consultation notes.
• Parents can revoke at any time from the app, and access ends immediately.
• Data stays in India. Records are stored in Google Cloud's Mumbai region, are never sold, and are never used to train AI models. The full detail is in our privacy policy.

Why recommend Araia to families

The portal is only as useful as what families log, so the families who get the most from it are the ones you suggest it to. Recommending it helps them — and your consultations:

• Vaccines on time. Araia follows the IAP schedule and reminds parents before each dose is due, with the record kept alongside a photo of the vaccination card.
• Medicines taken as prescribed. Parents log each dose and get reminders, so "I think we gave it this morning" becomes a timestamp — and you can see adherence before deciding a treatment hasn't worked.
• Better answers to "is this normal?" Guides written from IAP, WHO and AAP guidance, age-appropriate milestones, and growth tracking reduce anxious calls about normal variation — and every health guide says clearly when to call you.
• Every caregiver on the same record. Co-parents and grandparents log into one shared record, so the history you see isn't just whatever one parent remembers.
• Questions arrive organised. Instead of three worries remembered in the car park afterwards, the list is written down — and you can see it too.
• It's free for families on iPhone and Android.
